Storyboarding means putting together a series of picture blocks or word steps to define the flow of the story. It's a rough draft before you are ready to put the details into place. The storyboard forms the skeleton of the story. From this starting point, you can enhance rough drawings or replace them with images, write more extensive words to narrate the story and fill in gaps with more slides as needed.
